Cagri was my attempt at hitting another receptor. Could be coincidence, but around day one or two of last year's vacation a tiny third dose flattened me for a full day, and I dropped it. Survo came next, treated me well and carried me to goal. New goal now, so survo titration is coming...

Mine actually shrank (from 42DD down to 34D) once I crossed roughly 75 pounds lost. Didn't shift a single bit before that point though. They've gotten a bit longer too now, of all things.

Went through something similar, severe familial cholesterol issues and a heart attack about seven months back at age 36. Standing 6'0, 260 lbs, and honestly my diet was never that bad. Got put on a high-dose statin right away, which barely moved the needle. My doctor then prescribed a PCSK9...

Been doing very low carb keto (never actually tested ketone levels) starting roughly a month after my T2 diagnosis twelve years back. Gave me great glucose control for close to eight years, A1C sitting comfortably in the upper 4s to low 5s range, until menopause hit and threw the whole system...

Congratulations! What a real accomplishment. Stay positive, you're going to get there. Wishing you continued success ahead.

I could post the identical photo. Been on the second compound almost two years and lost right around 130lbs (started in the high 250s, now at 130), a good chunk of that stayed off thanks to working out and eating well, though a portion will only go away with a surgical option.

Both, honestly! The medication itself made me anxious since it had become such a trend and I kept hearing predictions about lawsuits decades down the line over GLP1s. The thought of injecting something foreign into my body genuinely gave me the creeps. That's part of why a filled prescription...

Retatrutide works as a triple agonist, hitting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors all at once. Semaglutide only targets GLP-1, tirzepatide covers GLP-1 and GIP. That glucagon piece is the added ingredient unique to retatrutide, and it's mechanistically what drives the potential body composition...

Lost weight really, really slowly. Currently maintaining a loss of 84 pounds. 56 years old, no botox or fillers involved, that's honestly all natural aging.

Oh nice. Unfortunately my particular insurance carrier won't cover it. Mind sharing what plan you're on?

Living in Thailand currently. Several local clinics offer self-administered pens directly. Pretty pricey though, something like six hundred dollars for the strongest pen option.

Been mulling this over since shifting toward unofficial sourcing, feels like fewer sellers bother stocking semaglutide these days. Brought this up elsewhere too, but the economics make sense, that compound runs far cheaper than anything else in this space, and with people drifting toward other...

Solid suggestions. Just need to push through this weekend since it wraps up finals season. Pain's been debilitating. Got a steroid pack from urgent care to help with the inflammation.

Hit a wall on Wegovy. Zepbound brought the exact same standstill! Though technically still creeping down, just at a snail's pace now.

the tell-only-if-asked approach is one of the more sustainable positions - it removes the ongoing management of other people's opinions from your daily experience, which is energy better spent elsewhere. family dynamics around weight and health are complicated in a specific way that makes...
